Dylan – Graduate Design Engineer

“I completed a 12-week internship with Motherson Australia as part of my degree in mechanical engineering. During the internship, I was immersed in the fast-paced design and manufacturing environment at Motherson.

The experience was both challenging and rewarding – I assisted the introduction of new products and processes while also contributing to the improvement and optimisation of existing processes. The internship ultimately led me to a graduate design engineering position at Motherson.”
